It’s time to ramp it up.
I am happy that a lot of good quality items were donated to a worthy cause, and I am 50 objects lighter, but I could own less. Far less.
I recommend taking this first step though. Do it!

How I did it: This is how I went about having my custom bike made. Nothing off that rack struck my fancy so I went another route. This is how I did it...1. Look at tons of photos (I spent a lot of time on Flickr looking at fixed gear bikes, single speeds and road bikes sorted by how interesting they were), study the bikes in your town, talk to people in and out of bike shops and do a little reading/research to figure out what yo… Read how I did it…

Taking my first trip out of the country in September, woo hoo! Have a couple travel guides, but not really into doing all the fabulous touristy stuff while I’m there. Any ideas?
I’ll let you know what I come up with…
Oh, and I’m also trying to learn the language…holy Jesus it’s all… wow, it’s very wow. But fun!
Over the weekend I went to my first wedding as an adult, and it was quite the eye opener I tell you.
I realized just how amazingly awesome my friend E is, and how happy and in love her and her fella are, and how they truly deserve each other. I’ve never felt so much joy for someone else in my life. Seeing this made me ponder my own relationship, and where its going. I don’t know if I can see us getting married in the immediate future anymore, though I once saw it so clearly. Still working on our relationship. We are happy, but can we ever be that happy?
Also flew down to San Diego on a plane completely by myself for the fist time. While it was a hellacious experience due to security and the clothes I chose to wear, it was awesome because for the first time I wasn’t scared to fly. The few times I flew last year involved tears galore. Some say dreams are a way of helping your brain and body work things out. All those dreams about being on crashing airplanes have, oddly enough, really really helped.
